Abstract

To clarify the presence or absence of shoulder joint dysfunction one year or more after surgery for breast cancer, measurements of shoulder muscular power and shoulder joint range of movement, and a questionnaire survey regarding daily living and subjective symptoms were carried out in 30 patients one year or more after surgery. Muscular power and range of movement had improved to a level similar to that on the non-affected side in all the cases. Although the patients reported no restrictions in daily living, subjective symptoms remained, so they were not always satisfied with the clinical results.
